915,669, Patented Mar. 16, 1909. sssssssssss ET 8 FIGS- in Fig. 2, are provided with shoulders 16 adapted to engage one edge of the ingot lying on the rollers. These turning bars have their upper ends connected by means of a shaft 17 and links 18 to rocker arms 19 on shaft 20. This shaft is also provided with rocker arms 21 connected at their outer ends to rams 22 of the lluid pressure 0 linders 23, and by the alternate operation of these fluid pressure cylinders the turning bars are raised and lowered as required. The cylinders 23 are supported on a platform 24 secured. at one end of the head or abutment 2 while the opposite end is sup JOItG-Cl by a shaft 25 having its ends secured in lugs 26 on the uides 4, as clearly shown in Fi s. 1 and 2. s this platform carrying the cy inders 23 is secured to the head. 2, or parts movable therewith, the ingot turning cylinders will be moved simultaneously and er ualiy with the head. In order to supply fluid pressure to the cylinders 23 supply pipes 36 having telescopic portions are connected to the cylinders. One member of the telescopic portions, as the sleeve 27, is secured to the frame 8 and connected to the supply pipe 36 while the other member )asses through the sleeve 27 and is connecte 1 to one of the operating cylinders .23.

As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the tubular guides 4 may be made in the form of cylin ders having rains 28 fitting therein and connected to a stationary abutment 29, so that these guide cylinders will operate. to move the head inwardly tdsllift an ingot across the rolls, while the return movement will be ef fer-ted by a cylinder 10, connected as heretofore described to the shifting head. This construction is especially desirable where manipulating devices are used on one side of the mill only, but may be used when two sets of manipulating mechanisms are employed as in Fig. 1, ynchrmums movements of the beads on both sides of the mill. will be insulrd by the connecting shaft 13, and insuch case the cylil'idcr l0 and its ram are omitted, their functions being performed by the cylin- (lens 4 and their rams.

As shown in Fig. is the construction shown in big. .1 may be modified by arranging the cylinders 111 and H) in tandem their rams being connected by links 30 to the arms 12 on shaft 13.

it is charzwteristic of my improvement that the heads or almtmcnts are supported by guide rods which are entirely above the plnuv of the feed rollers and that. the bearings for these guides are outside of vertical planes r-oim'idii'ig with the ends of the operative portions of the rollers.

i claim herein as znv invention:

1. A. feed table for rollinaz'zi-lls having in combination therewith a head or abutment, movable in directions parallel with the axes of the feed rollers to shift an article resting t my hand.

on the latter, horizontal guides carrying the head or abutment and extending laterally from the feed table, turning bars movable with the head, a platform carried by the guides and a motor carried by the platform for operating the turning bars.

2. A feed table for rolling mills having in combination therewith a head or abutment, guides extending horizontally in planes above the feed rollers and carrying the head or abutment, turning bars movable with the head, a platform carried by the guides and a motor carried by the platform for operating the turnin bar i 3. A feed table'for rol ing mills having in combination therewith a head or abutment movable transversely of the table, guides carrying the heads and extending horizontally, and bearings for said uides arran ed above carried by and in en istantial ahnement with the side frame of the table.

4. A feed table for rolling mills havin in combination therewith a movable beef 01 abutment, horizontal guides carrying the heads and bearings for said guides carried by the caps of the bearings for the rollers of the feed table.

5. A feed table for rolling mills having in combination therewith a movable head or abutment, horizontal uides carrving the heads vertically movab le turning bars carried b the head, fluid pressure cylinders carrier by the guides and connections from the cylinders to the turning bars.

6. A feed table for rolling mills having in combination therewith. horizontally arranged fluid pressure cylinders movably su )ported in bearings on theside frames of the feed table and having stationary pistons or rams and a head or abutment carried by said cylinders.

7. A feed table for rolling mills having in combination therewith a head or abutment, guides carrying the head or abutment and supported at points outside of a vertical plane coniciding with the ends of the openative portions of the feed rollers, and above said rollers, a rock shaft having arms connected to the head, and fluid pressure cylinders for oscillating the rock shaft. l

S. A feed table for rolling mills having in combination therewith, a head or abutment, guides carrying the head or abutment and movably supported at points outside of vertical planes coinciding with the ends of the operative portions of the feed rollers, turn- .ing bars carried by the head, means carried by the guides for shifting the turning bars, and means for reciprocating the head.
